Anyone with Unix File System Probs?
I tried using the Unix File System when I clean installed 10.2 last weekend and the first thing that failed was Windows Media Player install. I told me that I had no drive. Anyone else have any problems as such? Anyone know why such problems arise? Shouldn't the file system be transparent to the OS? ( Could this maybe be due to the fact that the drive was named ' / ' by Jaguar install? )
Linux can use any number of file systems. As long as the kernel has the support compiled into it, or a loadable module. The actual programs don't see a difference. Can't OSX do this?
This isn't a tech help type question. I reinstalled yet a second time with Mac Extended FS, but I am wondering why Unix FS didn't work. And if anyone else had similar problems.

It's quite ok, that the app does see a difference since it's files couldn't be stored on the FS you chose to store them on.
Mac OS X has support for numerous filesystems. They don'T need to be compiled into the kernel since we don'T have a monolithic kernel like Linux but an expandable architecture through BSD.
Have a look at /System/Library/Filesystems !
